Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Neonatal resuscitation is effective only when health professionals have sufficient knowledge and skills. We studied the change in the knowledge and skills of health professionals before and after training on standard protocol on neonatal resuscitation. Methods: A Hospital based cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in tertiary care hospital of Lucknow. All nurses from delivery room and Neonatal intensive care unit were included. The mean scores of knowledge and skills were assessed before and after teaching neonatal resuscitation protocol. Results were analysed by using paired t test and Chi-square to see the association. Results: Fifty nursing personnel participated in the study. The overall mean scores of knowledge and skills of subjects were (11±4.18, 5.98±1.68) respectively. Whereas the mean scores of knowledge and skill after post-test were (27.28±1.45, 16.28±0.99). Effectiveness of teaching programme regarding standardized Neonatal Resuscitation Protocol in relation to skill was effective as the t value 37.27 and p value
